Alright, so I got to see Superman V Batman the other day... Didn't live up to the hype, but it was okay. Now then, I started writing this chapter a few hours after the last one went up, so I don't have any new reviews to respond to.

Enjoy

Hell's Point Port

Lynx walked out of his ship with his guards behind him. On the opposite side of the port the Leviathan had just docked and was now sitting idle, waiting for something to happen. Lynx brought his arm to his face and began to speak. "Crew of the Leviathan, have all organic lifeforms aboard line up on the docking platform of the ship, I shall decide who shall meet with the King."

After a moment of brief silence the door to the Leviathan's hanger opened, and the crew lined up on the edge. Each of them looked amazed to see a thriving kingdom outside the borders of the Human world, as they had all been told that True Remnant was uninhabitable due to the Grimm. Oobleck was especially interested, as Qrow had to hold him by the arm to stop the over caffeinated doctor from running around like a kid in a candy store.

Lynx walked up to the group and raised his arm to halt his guards. Lynx moved in front of the crowd that had gathered to gaze upon the foreign ship and its crew. "Alright everyone back up!" He shouted. "These people are here under orders of the King!"

"Why are there Human up there!" An angry voice from the crowd yelled.

"Look! That one with the blonde hair! At his side!" Another yelled, pointing to Crocea Mors.

"The cursed blade!" Another voice yelled.

Jaune looked around with confusion as he covered his blade with his leg. "What's going on?" He asked, turning to Qrow.

Qrow shook his head. "I don't know. We never knew that there was people living outside the Human World." He said as he looked out across the crowd below them.

"It looks like its mostly Faunus." Blake said as she scanned the crowd, seeing ears, tails and horns everywhere.

"Excellent observation." Lynx said as he walked up onto the hanger door. "Hell's point is the original home of the Faunus race. Little more than a century ago we sent several Faunus into the Human world to meet them." Lynx turned to Jaune with a glare than made the boy shift behind Pyrrha slightly. "You all know what happened next."

Lynx turned and closed his eyes tightly before opening them to look over the crew with his gold eyes. "You there, monkey, you may come ashore, as can you miss." Lynx said as he pointed to Blake and Sun. He then turned to Leo, who stood a good three feet taller than the man with a smile. "Ah Mr. Thorne, you may come ashore as well, and so can you miss." He said pointing to Yang. He then turned back to Qrow. "No Human's are allowed to leave this ship without express permission from the King."

Qrow tilted his head. "First, why can't I, the head of this mission meet with the King, second, I'm not letting my niece go into a foreign kingdom without some supervision, and third, Yang is Human." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Lynx raised an eyebrow and turned to look back at Yang. His eyes widened slightly and turned to Leo with a smile again. "I see." He said as he turned away from the group. "She may accompany her Alpha to meet the king." He said, leaping off the platform into the crowd below, completely ignoring Qrow's other questions.

Qrow turned to the Faunus under his command, and Yang. "None of you are going anywhere." He said while looking straight at Yang. "And this time, you will listen."

Tyme placed a hand on Qrow's shoulder. "We had better let them go. I saw the kingdom as we were landing, it has even more weapons than the ship did." Tyme moved in front of Qrow. "This kingdom is only Faunus, and while I don't know why Yang is allowed to enter, if we don't go along their demands, we risk being attacked."

Qrow sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He turned to Tyme. "I am getting really fucking tired of all the random shit that has been happening on this mission. When I get back I'm taking a bottle from Oz's stash." Qrow said as he turned back to Leo. "You may not be the most skilled, but with your age you have the veterancy. Make sure everyone comes back okay."

Leo nodded and turned to leave with Sun and Blake. Yang looked to her team then back to Qrow. "You sure?" She asked.

Qrow nodded. "Last thing we need is for this to delay us any further because we didn't let the King meet you." He said as he turned to the rest of the group. "Come on everyone, we'll watch from the top deck. I don't like the looks of this crowd."

Yang turned and walked over to Leo. Sun and Blake were climbing down the ladder, and Leo looked like he was too big to use it. He turned to Yang with a grin and scooped her up in his arms before jumping off the ship. They fell a good fifty feet to the ground, and landed with a loud crunch and Leo's metal boots broke the stone below. Rising to his full height, Leo towered over the entire crowd.

Seeing the metal giant land before the, the crowd shuffled back a few feet with looks of surprise and fear. Leo looked out across the crowd and saw where Lynx was waiting with his guards. Turning to look up, he could see that Sun and Blake were almost to the bottom and turned to look back at Lynx. He remembered Yang was in his arms and looked down to see her climbing onto his shoulder. Yang sat down on his right shoulder and placed a hand on his head with a grin.

"If you like carrying me so much, then you can give me a ride to the castle." She said looking down at him with a grin. Leo turned and saw Sun helping Blake down off the ladder and started to walk. The crowd parted as he made his way towards Lynx, a mix of fear and disgust on their faces from Leo and Yang.

Upon reaching the location of Lynx, Leo saw that he was riding on some kind of floating platform. Lynx smiled down at him. "Well, climb aboard my boy, we don't have all day." He said as he put his hand down for Leo to grab. Leo turned and placed Yang onto the platform before lifting Sun and Blake up, and climbing on himself. Standing on the platform allowed him to see even farther across the city, as the platform was floating a good seven feet off the ground, extending his height to sixteen feet.

Lynx turned to the man at the helm. "Get us moving private. I want the King to meet a fellow Alpha before the sun sets." The mad nodded and pulled a lever. The platform hummed to life as it began to move at a brisk pace over the crowd. People below began to shift out of the path of the approaching vehicle on instinct, despite the fact that it would have risen into the air if anyone was too tall and would have been hit.

Blake stared out across the city with wonder as they passed markets and streets entirely occupied by Faunus. "This is incredible..." She started.

Lynx turned to her with a raised eyebrow before he saw what she was looking at. "Ah yes, Trade Square is the heart of this port city. It can be quite busy at a time like this." He said as he walked over to her side.

"Faunus are going about their daily lives without being prosecuted by the Humans. There are even posters for bands with Faunus on the walls over there." She said as she pointed to the building to the right of the platform.

"You must mean the Hunters, they are the most popular band on Hell's point. My son is the lead guitarist." Lynx said as he pulled an image of the band up on his wrist. The hologram that came up from the camera on his wrist showed five Faunus, four boys and a girl, standing in front of a volcano. "He's done quite well for himself." Lynx said with pride.

"There's not a single band in Vale or Atlas that has a Faunus in them, most people refuse to buy albums for bands that have them." Blake said as she examined the hologram. She turned to look up at Lynx. "How did you guys reach Equality?" She asked.

Lynx smiled. "It was quite easy, this country is the birth place of the Faunus race, and we have a very strict policy of never allowing humans to enter."

Blake's look faltered. "So you never reached equality? You just threw the humans out?!"

Lynx shook his head. "Initially, we had plans to allow the Humans to come and go as they pleased. In fact, several hundred years ago, when Humans were exploring the world, they found us and tried to take our land. We fought them back and isolated ourselves from the whole world." Lynx said as he turned to the city. "We created a thriving empire that would last for generations to come... Then, a little more than a hundred years ago, we sent a ship of our people to the Human world to make contact, in hopes that they had set aside their bigotry in favor of peace."

Lynx shot a glare at Yang before continuing. "Our people arrived during a war, and seeing a species that that generation of Humans had never seen, they attacked. After destroying the ship they used to reach the Humans, they captured them and tortured them. Some were kind or sympathetic, and allowed them to join the fight. After many years of fighting, the war ended, and the winning side promised Faunus rights." Lynx turned back to Blake. "You know the rest of the story."

Lynx's seemed to have turned sour while he was talking, but Blake paid it no mind. She too got annoyed when she recanted her species history with Humans. "Well, it's nice to go somewhere and not be looked at with hatred or be given dirty looks."

"Speak for yourself." Yang said as she looked at the people below. Each one glared up at her and seemed to radiate killing intent. "This crowd looks like it's ready to rip my head off."

Lynx turned to her with a blank stare. "They will if you go down. Just move closer to your Alpha, they'll leave you alone."

Yang turned to look at Lynx with a confused stare. "You keep saying "My Alpha" what do you mean?" She asked.

Now Lynx looked confused. He crossed his arms over his chest and starred at Yang. "You travel with Faunus and don't know what an Alpha Faunus is?" He asked. "You both know what an Alpha Faunus is right?" Lynx asked as he turned to Blake and Sun, who shook their heads.

Lynx sighed. "Your ancestors passed no knowledge of our island on then. I suppose that is a good thing." Lynx paused and pointed at Leo. "He is an Alpha Faunus. An Alpha is easily recognized, by their immense size, and having more than one animal trait." Leo looked himself over trying to find his second trait, as did the others. Lynx sighed. "Your claws boy, take off your gauntlets."

Leo paused and looked to Lynx. "They're ah, not Gauntlets." He started. "They're prosthetic's."

A look of surprise crossed Lynx's face. "Oh, I'm sorry m'boy, I wouldn't have said anything if I had known." Lynx composed himself and turned back the Yang. "Anyway, there is nothing overly special about an Alpha, other than the greatly increased strength and endurance."

Yang nodded. "Okay, so Leo is special. I get that, but what makes him my Alpha?"

Lynx tilted his head to the side and pointed at Yang's heart. "Are you not the Alpha's whore?" Lynx asked.

...

...

...

There was a think silence, interrupted only by the platforms engine. "AM I HIS WHAT?!" She shouted at him with a mix of rage and surprise.

"You bear the mark of one who has mated with an Alpha. His crest sits over your heart." Lynx said as he continued to point at Yang's heart.

Yang looked down and saw nothing. "I don't see any damn crest!" She shouted turning back to Lynx.

"Of course you don't see it, your a human. Only Faunus can see it." He said.

Yang turned to Leo who was standing stiff as a board, looking straight ahead of the platform. He raised his hand to his face and scratched his chin. "I would facepalm right now if the metal on my hand wouldn't break my nose." He said before turning to Yang.

Her hair began to glow, as did her eye's. "LEO. WHAT. DID. YOU. DO?" She ground out through her clenched teeth.

Leo raised his hand to defend himself. "Calm yourself! Unless you have done things prior to having met me, you still remain a virgin!" She seemed to calm down slightly for a moment, before her rage came back full force. "The mark you bear is a temporary one! Formed from being in direct contact with one another for extended periods of time!"

"And when were we in contact with each other!?" She demanded as she loaded her gauntlets.

"When I carried you in the caves! Or when I carried you up the hill! We were in direct contact with each other for a few hours on the island." Leo said as he tried to calm down the blonde brawler.

Yang glared at Leo for a few more seconds before turning to Sun and Blake. "Did you two know about this mark!?" She demanded, pointing to her chest. They looked to one another, then back to Yang and nodded. "Then why the hell didn't you tell me!? Did you think that I had already slept with him so it wasn't your business?!" Yang was not calming down as her hair began to burn brighter.

Blake shook her head. "No! We confronted Leo about the mark!" She defended. "He told us that it was temporary and would go away in time!"

Yang spun around to look at Leo. "Then when will it go away!?"

Leo shrugged. "Not too sure. A couple of days, a week at most."

Yang's eye twitched. "So for the next few days... I have to walk around with a literal sign, that I FUCKED YOU!?" She asked.

Leo twitched and turned away from Yang with a blank look on his face. "Ah... I suppose you could look at it that way." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest, trying to ignore Yang's eyes burning a hole in the back of his head.

*BOOM*

Blake, Sun and Lynx stood as far from Yang as they could, each Faunus sensing the potential danger of getting close to Yang, who herself had just slammed Leo's face through the metal plating of the platform. She dragged the poor Faunus out of the hole and slammed him into a railing before letting him fall into the street below.

"I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!" She shouted as she jumped down into the crowd after him.

"Well this isn't good..." Lynx said as he looked down to where the two had landed. "These people may not take to kindly to a human pummeling a Faunus." As Lynx spoke, Yang began to throw Leo into the walls of nearby buildings, with the citizens nearby taking videos with their scrolls, or shouting various offensive terms at Yang.

*BOOM*

Lynx looked down and saw Leo crash back through the wall he was thrown through with a furious look on his face. "TWO HITS I DESERVE, BUT I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU THROWN ME AROUND WITHOUT A FIGHT!" He shouted as he charged into Yang.

Yang attempted to dodge to the side, but Leo grabbed he leg and whipped her through a window of a nearby building. Leo charged into the building after her, only to be clothes lined by a pipe that Yang swung at him. Leo brought his arms up to block his face as Yang pounded several rounds into his upper torso and head. Swinging wide with his arms, Leo managed to knock Yang off her feet.

Leo rolled to the side and tried to stand to his full height, only to hit his head on the ceiling. He cursed as he glanced up to see what he had hit, giving Yang enough time to get close to him and uppercut him through the ceiling. Yang used Ember Celica to follow Leo up through the holes onto the third floor. She saw Leo throw a desk at her as she arrived, and fired a round at it to shatter it. There was a loud beeping as a box on the wall began to flash and the building sprinklers began to douse the floor with water.

Leo got into a fighting stance and began to shift the metal on his gauntlets to cover the rest of his body. He reached into his pocket and placed a White Fang mask over his face, the same one that he had in the old picture of his family. The metal on his arms finally finished covering him in heavy gold plating, while the metal formed around the mask, leaving only his mouth visible.

Yang cracked her knuckles and glared at him, the water evaporating as it hit the burning girl. "If you think putting on some mask will save you, you've got another thing coming." Yang leapt forward with a blast from Ember Celica. As she got into range, Leo lashed out with a kick, causing Yang to crash through the dry wall beside them. Leo shifted back into his stance and glared down at Yang.

"Of you think that I'll go easy on you because you're throwing a fit, then YOU have another thing coming!" He shouted before blocking a punch from Yang. Leo moved to grab Yang, only for her to slip through his legs and get behind him. Yang leapt up and grabbed Leo's neck, pulling him back and throwing him over her shoulder. Leo crashed through the wall with a loud clang, as he hit an support beam for the building. Thinking fast, Leo grabbed the support and tore it from its place, then swinging it at Yang.

Yang ducked under the slow swing and got close to Leo, once again delivering an uppercut and sending him crashing through to the next few floors. Yang chased Leo up through the building, hitting him with uppercut after uppercut, before he caught her fist and threw her through a set of cubicles. They had come to a stop in some kind of office space, and several Faunus could be seen fleeing via the stairs. Leo turned and saw that they had arrived on the twenty fifth floor. Leo turned to look out the window beside him before he heard a loud crash and saw a desk and computer flying towards him.

Leo caught the desk and threw it to the side in time to see Yang barreling towards him. Moving quickly, Leo managed to push Yang's fist to the side and throw her into the ground beside him. Leo clapped his hands together and brought them down onto Yang's gut, knocking her back down another floor. Leo jumped down and landed on Yang, crushing her further into the floor. Leo walked forward and examined the floor they were on. It was another office floor, though it had three massive holes in it from where their fight had crashed through it. It was also on fire.

*BOOM*

Leo spun around to see Yang standing in the crater that Leo had slammed her into, with the very area around her on fire. He was stunned to see that she could stand after everything that they had done. "Good god you're resilient!" He said as he walked towards her. "I think it's time we end th-"

Leo was never given the chance to finish his sentence, as Yang moved towards him in the blink of an eye and hit him up through the remaining floors before the roof. Leo spun a few times in the air before he crashed down on the top of the skyscraper. As Leo attempted to get back to his feet he was blown back by the strong wind of being so high above the ground. His second attempt was thwarted once again, this time by Yang who had hit him with another round from Ember Celica.

Leo groaned in his crater as Yang walked towards him. She reached him and lifted him over her head before tossing him through the door to the stairs. Leo bounced down the stairs before reaching the landing and managing to climb to his feet. He turned to Yang who was standing at the top of the stairs, waiting for Leo to make a move.

Leo moved his hand to his chin and cracked his neck before shifting his armor back onto his arms and legs. He reached behind himself and grabbed a chunk of debris and threw it at Yang, who easily knocked the chunk of stone aside. "Is that all you have left?!" She shouted.

Moving quickly, Leo jumped up the stairs and attempted to grab Yang by the waist. Yang caught his arms as he tried to grapple her and flipped him over her shoulder before slamming him into the ground behind her. Leo slammed his arms into the ground with enough force to shake the roof, causing Yang to stumble, and allowing Leo to leap to his feet and create some distance between the two.

Yang turned to Leo with a glare, her eyes glowing so bright that it gave off the appearance that she was some form of Grimm. "You're awful slippery for someone of your size." She said before reloading Ember Celica.

Leo looked around for some edge he could use in the fight, before a gust of wind hit his face. Thinking quickly, Leo began to inhale, his chest bulging out as his lungs filled to capacity. Leo closed his mouth and turned back to Yang who immediately realized what he was trying to do. Leo moved his arms to the side, before slamming his hands together in front of his face. His arms began to shift again, revealing a funnel leading to Leo's mouth. Leo glared at Yang before unleashing his Semblance.

*ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR*

Leo's Semblance tore the roof apart as it traveled towards Yang. She attempted to move out of the way of the blast, but it grew outward as it advanced. She felt the blast wave hit her as it lifted her off her feet and threw her into the air beside the building. She could feel her eardrums explode as the sonic attack moved towards the adjacent building. Yang's vision was blurred, but she managed to land against the other buildings wall with her feet and hands as the sonic wave passed her. Moving quickly Yang grabbed the building with her hands and braced herself against the wall.

Yang glanced down below her and saw the streets filled with cars and debris from the fight she was having with Leo. She shook her head to clear her vision and glared back down at Leo on the roof as he transformed his weapon back into a pair of hands. Leo growled before he charged towards the edge of the building. Yang yelled as she leapt off the building with and explosion caused by her gauntlets. Leo leapt off the building and reared back to hit Yang when she got close. Yang also pulled her arm back to strike as she sailed across the open air.

The two quickly closed the gap and struck at the other with their fists. The two fists collided with a thunderous clap as the nearby buildings had their windows shattered. The two attempted to strike at the other with the opposite fist before they were interrupted by a third party.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" A voice shouted as Yang and Leo turned their heads to the right. Both of them were suddenly struck by a fist with great force, sending them rocketing down towards the ground. The two hunters crashed into the street below with incredible force, as the pavement cracked around them and caused the ground to shake and causing car alarms to go off.

Leo and Yang groaned as they pulled themselves from their respective craters, both of their Arua's spent from the great fall. Leo turned to look to the sky and saw a large man with bright armor and a massive great sword floating above them with a set of large reptilian wings on his back. He had long silver hair that went down to his chest with red horns on the top of his head, and was currently focusing his glare on Leo.

"I don't know what started this fight, but I'm finishing it!" He shouted. "I refuse to let you demolish this city further!" The man glided down to Leo and landed with a light thud. his armor clicked as he strode over to the larger Faunus before he dragged Leo out of the crater. Leo's right arm sparked for a moment, before the hand fell off and landed with a clang. The man turned to it with mild surprise, before he turned to Yang. He narrowed his eyes as he saw her crawl out of her crater. "A Human!"

He dropped Leo, who fell to his knee's and moved swiftly to Yang before lifting her by her neck. "How did you get to this country!?" He demanded as Yang tried weakly to remove his hand from her neck.

"I brought them here Sire!" Lynx shouted as the floating platform turned the corner.

The large man turned to Lynx while he held Yang in the air. "LYNX! Why is there a Human on Hell's Point?!" Lynx was about to answer him, but he was hit by an explosion that sent him crashing into the building to his right. Lynx turned and saw Leo with his right arm aimed at the man. At the tip where his hand had fallen off of was a large barrel that was currently smoking.

"Next time... Stay out of my fight." Leo said as he limped towards Yang. The crowd nearby was shocked by what they had just seen. An Alpha Faunus that no one had ever seen before showed up out of nowhere and started a fight with a Human girl that decimated a skyscraper, before the Lord intervened, only for the Faunus to protect the Human and blast the Lord through a wall. Leo got about five feet from Yang before he collapsed and fell onto his face. He groaned for a moment before a crashing could be heard.

Lynx saw the Lord crash back into view with a look of anger on his face. The blast didn't appear to do any real damage, but it succeeded in pissing him off. The Lord turned towards the platform and shouted. "LYNX! YOU BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS!"

Vale

General Ironwood stalked around the airship that he was commanding as it sailed through the sky's around Vale. He had a-lot on his plate since the Nautilus had been stolen. Problems ranging from the Atlesian Council threatening his rank, to Vacuo and Minstral launching simultaneous attacks on both Atlas and Vale, while the headmasters of Haven and Shade academy were arrested by their respective Council's. On top off everything else, a Grimm the size of a mountain had appeared and Ozpin was in the hospital. Needless to say, James had a headache.

The General was returning to the bridge after visiting Ozpin in the infirmary, and though he was expected to make a full recovery, he wouldn't be combat ready for a few weeks at least. The General came to a stop at the large door to the bridge and pulled his scroll from his pocket. Swiping it across the panel, he opened the door and saw a dozen Atlas troops scurrying around the bridge.

The Captain of the ship saw the General as he entered the room and got into a salute. "General on the Bridge!" He shouted. The rest of the troops in the room stopped and got into a salute facing the General. James pulled his arm to his head and returned the salute.

"At ease men." He said. The troops around the room returned to their stations and continued their tasks. The General walked to the Captain and looked out the window. "Captain, what is the status of our reinforcements?" He asked.

The Captain turned to face the General with a serious look on his face. "Well sir, with the CCT down, all communications have been cut across Vale. We only managed to contact Atlas for a moment before it all went down."

The Generals frown deepened. "And what of Atlas?" The General asked.

"Before we lost contact, we were informed that our AA batteries had engaged the Ark, but most of our weapons seemed to be ineffective." The Captain said.

James stared down at the Captain for a moment before looking our the window across Vale. The City itself was in ruin. Fire's dotted the vast metropolis, while in other places you could see the stray Goliath that had wandered in from Mt. Glenn. In the distance along the shore line, the Argo had crashed into the city, destroying much of the cities port. A defensive perimeter had been established by the crew of the Argo around the ship. The Council of each of the four kingdoms seemed to have been plotting against one and another for some time.

Occasionally you would see the perimeter around the ship light up for a second as the crew fired their weapons, whether it was at a Grimm, or some poor civilian that walked into their sights. Ironwood had to face facts. Vacuo and Minstral had declared war.

"If it's a war they want, then it's a war they'll get!" The General said as he turned to the helm.

A look of surprise crossed the Captains face. "Sir?" He asked.

"Patch me through to the rest of the fleet Captain." The General said as he walked to the controls. The Captain turned and gave a few orders to the soldiers in the room before the screen before him lit up. He turned to the General with a thumbs up. The General turned to the screen and began to speak. "Attention all warships. At approximately nineteen hundred hours, Vacuo and Minstral launched a coordinated attack on both Vale and Atlas."

Soldiers on the other ships stopped what they were doing and turned to the screens and the speakers nearest to them. "At approximately twenty-one hundred hours we lost contact with Atlas." The message was being broadcast to all ships, and most of the monitors around the city of Vale. Even several Grimm turned to the screens, whether they were watching it or simply looking to a source of light was indeterminable.

"Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon academy was injured and is currently being treated in the infirmary of our temporary flagship." A chorus of murmurs arose among the people watching. "At the present, we do not know why the other kingdoms attacked." The General said as he saw the perimeter of the Argo flash again. "We do not yet know the exact number of casualties sustained in this attack."

James could now see some of the soldiers in the very room with him begin to lose hope as he continued to deliver the bad news. "But not all is lost." He said. "My ships will remain in Vale for another twenty-four hours, at established safe zones to evacuate civilians." As he continued, a map with several marked locations appeared beside his head. "Once those twenty-four hours are up however, my fleet will return to Atlas." The General could hear cries of protest arise from the deck below where civilians were being kept. "Please understand, I am not abandoning Vale by choice. Once we have evacuated as many people as possible, we shall retreat to Atlas, where the military can regroup and form a plan to retaliate."

James could still hear the protest from below getting louder. "With the CCT down, and the Grimm Dragon at Beacon tower, it would be more than a little risky to remain in the area. My forces will take you to Atlas, where you can search for anyone you may have lost." On the deck below, the soldiers were having difficulty controlling the civilians. They called to the Bridge for aid. "This is not up or debate. People of Vale, you have twenty-four hours to reach my ships. That is all."

The screen when dark and the General sighed. He had just told the population of Vale that he was going to be moving them to another kingdom by force. Though he and a few others may have viewed it as an act of a savior to take them from a ruined city to one that can help them, the riot below showed that more than a few viewed it as a mass scale kidnapping.

"Send some troops to quell the riot on deck three." The Captain said as he turned to the guards by the door. With a salute they turned and left to grab more men. The Captain turned to the General. "What do we do now sir?" He asked.

The General ran his hand through his hair before he turned to the Captain. "Send the transport ships to the marked locations. Have Blue's 1,2 and 3 watch the Argo. I sent that message out across all of Vale, and I expect Vacuo's military to attempt some sabotage. They have orders to fire on any troop movement from that ship." The Captain nodded his head and turned to his crew. The General turned to the door and left as the Captain began to bark orders.

Walking down the hall, James could hear the protest below him begin to quiet down as his troops reached it. Looking ahead of him he could see his quarters, the door open. 'That's odd, I swear I closed that door.' He thought as he pushed it open. His room was larger than most, he had a bed on the left, with a door to a personal bathroom on the right, with a desk and computer in the back center, before the large window.

Sitting on his desk with a scroll in her had was Glynda. She turned her head to the General as he entered. "Well James, that was certainly an interesting speech you gave." She said as she stood and walked over to him. "You told the population of Vale that you had the situation under control a few months ago, now I hear that Atlas was attacked as well."

James pushed past her and took a seat at his desk. "Glynda, to what do I owe this unexpected visit?" He asked.

"Why did you come back here James? When you were here for the festival, it was because Qrow had discovered Cinders plan. Now, seeing as how she has destroyed Vale, I'd say that at best, we delayed it. But now, now you came back with an even larger force than before. Why?" Glynda asked as she took a seat in the chair before his desk.

James looked behind him as the he watched his transport ships move into position. "Ozpin asked me to come back. He said that something was going to happen, an that I should come prepared."

Glynda looked behind him to the destroyed city. "This is your idea of prepared?" She asked sarcastically.

James frowned. "I was expecting the White Fang again, not the Vacuain army!" He stated. "I was ready to fight terrorists, not a fellow kingdom."

Glynda frowned as she re-watched his speech. "How is Ozpin?" She asked.

"He will survive."

She turned to look at him. His coat was torn and filthy, his glove was missing, and the sleeve that should be hiding his false limb was gone, exposing his injury to all. "And what about you? I saw you working with the students earlier. What are you planning?" She asked.

James stood from his chair and placed his torn coat on a hook. "I am doing fine. And as for the students, I have sent teams, CRDL, CFVY and FNKI to the safe zones as extra protection." James turned and placed his Gun on the desk beside his computer. "They have orders to assist in the evacuation of the civilians, then to leave with the ships."

"What about team SSSN?" Glynda asked. "I saw Sage and Scarlet with you as well."

James narrowed his eyes. "The remaining members of team SSSN are joining team CFVY at their zone. It would appear that Sun Wukong and Neptune Vasilias snuck aboard the Leviathan with Oobleck before it left the Human World."

Glynda looked out the window to see Beacon, with the silhouette of the Dragon atop the broken tower. "I hope that whatever it is that they're looking for out there is found soon."

The General nodded. "Things have to be going better on their side then ours." He said with a frown.

Hell's Point

The platform raced across the plains heading for the castle. Aboard the platform was three grunts driving it, Blake and Sun who stood at the back with Yang and Leo, who were presently unconscious and chained to the railing, and Lynx who was attempting to explain his reason for allowing anyone to leave the Leviathan to his Lord.

"But Sire, I had presumed that you would wish to meet with the Faunus from the human world before you condemned the ship!" Lynx said as he dropped to his knee's.

The Lord had a deep scowl on his face as he stared ahead. "So you decided to allow them into our country, with no prior knowledge of their capabilities?" The Lord asked as he turned to glare down at the smaller man. "Your smarter than this Lynx!"

Lynx nodded his head. "I am deeply sorry for all of the trouble they caused! I underestimated their power and was unable to contain them when a fight broke out." Lynx said as he bowed his head to the floor.

"Because of your failure to contain them, all of Styx now knows that there are Human's in the country, capable of mass destruction." The Lord said as he looked back to the city they had left behind only a few short hours ago. "The fight between the Alpha and his whore destroyed all of second street, along with most of the nearby office building!" What he said was true. Lynx had no knowledge of the powers of Leo or Yang, and had the Lord not intervened, Lynx had no clue where the fight may have gone.

Turning to look back at the small group from the Leviathan, Lynx rose to his feet. "What shall I do with them sire? I had planned on introducing you to a fellow Alpha, though I had hoped that you would meet under better circumstances."

The Lord turned to Sun and Blake who were looking over Yang to check for any serious damage, while Leo sat with his broken hand on his lap. "The two who fought and destroyed the city are now labeled as level 5 criminals, and are to be stored with the rest of the high level criminals under the palace, until the week of the execution. The other two may make their choice whether they follow their Alpha to his death, or join our country." The Lord waved his arm to send Lynx away as he turned back to the sunset before them.

Lynx turned and left the Lord, his sights now set on delivering to Sun and Blake the invitation that the Lord had given them. As he got closer, he could see that rather than treat the Alpha, they favored the Human girl. Lynx watched silently as Blake and Sun checked Yang over to see if the fight with Leo, or the attack from the Lord had left any serious damage. Finding no external damage, the two could only hope that nothing had happened to cause any internal injuries. Satisfied with their work, Sun and Blake turned to one and another and started talking quietly.

Lynx chose now to speak. "You have examined that Human several times since we left the city, though I have yet to see the two of you check the health of your Alpha." He stated as he walked over to them. "The Human started the fight, yet you seem more concerned for her than for your fellow Faunus."

Sun and Blake turned to Lynx, then looked down to Leo who had both arms chained to the railing with his head down, and his legs crossed. On his lap was his broken right hand that had fallen off at the end of the fight. Blake turned back to Lynx with a frown. "The 'Human', is our friend. The 'Alpha', is not. We just happen to be on the same team for this mission."

Lynx frowned as he looked at Leo. On Hell's Point it was unheard of to favor a Human over a Faunus. "Yes well, what exactly is this 'mission' for? I'm afraid that Qrow and Leo failed to mention what their reason for leaving the Human World was." Lynx asked.

Blake raised her eyebrow and turned to look down at Leo. "I'm afraid that I can't share that information with you sir. Qrow is the leader of this mission, and due to age and status, Leo is technically the highest ranking Huntsman here. If they neglected to tell you, then they had a reason."

Lynx continued to frown as he stared at the two Faunus before him. "I see. Well, any information that you can provide for your mission may help in alleviating your friends sentence."

Blake's eyes snapped to Lynx's as a concerned to look crossed her face. "Their sentence? What sentence?" She demanded.

Lynx snorted. "You can't be serious. Regardless of whether or not you were invited to this country, your friend was part of a fight that destroyed a portion of the city." He said as he crossed his arms.

Blake stepped forward and stood in front of Yang. "What is the punishment?" She asked.

"Leo and the Human have been branded as Level 5 criminals." Lynx stated as he looked down to the broken robotic limb on Leo's right side.

Sun tilted his head to the side. "Level 5? What's that mean?" He asked.

Lynx raised his hand out in front of him. "Level 1: Petty thieves. Level 2: Murderers. Level 3: Terrorists. Level 4: Traitors. And finally, Level 5: Criminals capable of mass destruction. After seeing the fight that Leo and the Human had in the city, the Lord has decided that they are to be thrown into jail alongside the other Level 5 criminals." Lynx turned to Blake and narrowed his eyes. "Each of the Level 5 Criminals have come from the Human World."

Blake looked down to Yang. "So what does it mean to be a Level 5 criminal?" She asked.

Lynx sighed. "Up until recently, Level 5 was a cell block at our national prison that was sealed far below ground, with the intent that the population forget they even existed. However, do to a recent decision by the Lord, all of the Criminals from Level 5 have been moved to temporary cells before their public execution." He finished.

Blake stepped back with a look of shock on her face. "Execution?!" She shouted.

Lynx nodded. "They committed a crime. As such, they shall be punished."

Sun stepped forward. "Why not just exile them from the country? We have a job to do out in the rest of the world!" He shouted.

"Do you think that the people of Styx could be happy with the Lord simply letting someone get back on their ship and leave the country after they tore apart a city block?" Lynx asked as he glared down at the blonde boy.

Sun paused and looked to his feet. "No... They'd be really pissed off." He said.

Blake turned to the monkey with a look of shock. "Sun!?" She shouted.

Sun's head snapped up and he glared back at Lynx. "But the rest of the crew won't sit back and let these two be executed!" He shouted. "When we leave this kingdom, we're taking them with us!"

Lynx scanned the boy's face for any signs of fear, then he sighed. "The decision is final. The only one who can revert it is the Lord himself. I can arrange for you to meet with him and discuss a suitable punishment for them, but until then, they shall be housed with the other Level 5 criminals until after the festival."

Blake could see that they had a chance for mercy for Yang and Leo, but she didn't want to push the issue for fear of Lynx barring them from negotiating for their release, so she latched onto another thing that she had heard. "Your having a festival?" She asked.

Lynx turned to Blake and nodded. "Comes once every four years, and lasts the whole week." He said with a smile. "The whole country takes the week off to celebrate."

Sun turned to Blake. "Are you really going to drop the whole execution issue?" He asked.

"If we keep bugging them, they may not let us debate their innocence." She responded. Blake turned back to Lynx. "What's the festival for?" She asked.

Lynx smiled and turned to the open fields. "The festival is called the blossoming of the Sky Flower." Lynx pointed to what appeared to be a tree off in the distance.

Upon closer examination though, Blake noticed that it was a massive flower bud. "The Sky Flower? What are those?" She asked.

Lynx turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "The Human World doesn't have any Sky Flowers?" He asked. Blake and Sun shook their heads. "How in the world did the Faunus population survive in there?" Lynx asked as he turned back to the flower. "Never mind, the Sky Flower's bloom once every four years in the twenty-eighth week of the year. They give off a fragrance that causes the desire to find a mate to accelerate. On Hell's Point, this is also more commonly refereed to as 'Mating Season'."

Blake froze. "Mating Season?!" She shouted.

Lynx laughed lightly. "You have nothing to fear young one. You have already been marked, so the effects will be dulled for you." Lynx said as he pointed to the mark of the monkey. "This was originally the only way that the people of Hell's Point find a mate. For one week, the entire country get's together and the young Faunus go out and search for a mate. I found my wife at this festival twenty-eight years ago, and my son found his mate at the last one." Lynx smiled as he reminisced.

Sun tilted his head to the side. "Don't you have to worry about the Grimm?" He asked.

Lynx simply shook his head. "The Sky Flower's give off a odor that the Grimm can't stand. The kingdom rarely has any Grimm in it's borders, and when it does, it is usually a stray Nevermore that got away from the flock."

Sun turned to Blake. "If these things really do keep the Grimm away, then maybe we should bring some seeds back to the Human world!" He sounded excited at the prospect of potentially ridding them of Grimm.

"No." The three turned to see the Lord walking towards them with a frown. He came to a stop before Yang and Leo and starred down at them.

Sun tilted his head as he starred up at the large man. "Why not? If it can keep a-"

Sun was cut off as the Lord began to speak. "Because of what the fragrance does to Humans." He said as he knelt before Leo.

Blake pushed Sun to the side to get a better view of the Lord. "What does the fragrance do to Humans?" She asked.

The Lord narrowed his eyes as he examined Leo's arms. Then he turned to Blake. "The fragrance, when used on a Faunus, causes them to become aroused and more fertile. But, when used on a Human, it can send them on a rampage." The Lord said as he thought back to the day he discovered what the fragrance did to humans. "They lose all control of themselves and begin to destroy every thing."

Sun stepped towards the man. "If there are no Sky Flower's in the Human world, then how do you know the effects of them on Humans?" He asked.

Turning to Sun, the lord looked him up and down. "You children pose a great many questions that others your age would ignore." He said as he looked to Blake. "I know, because twelve years ago, the first time in eighty years, a group of Humans arrived on Hell's Point. Two men. At first I welcomed them, thinking that the Human world had begun trying to make amends for what they did." The lord said as he looked ahead to the castle that was slowly coming over the hill.

"As fate would have it, they had crashed here by mistake, and had no clue that there was intelligent life outside the Human World. I invited them to stay at the castle for the festival, and with the promise of food and liquor, they each agreed. A few days later when the flowers began to bloom, I stood on the balcony with the humans to watch. As I was filled with a pleasing feeling, they began to shake." He said as he shifted his cloak to the side, hiding his missing limb.

"They suddenly began to attack everything in sight. Before I stopped them, they destroyed half of this country, and killed much of my own family." The Lord turned and glared down at Yang. "So you can see that my people may not be the most welcoming to Humans right now." The Lord then turned to Lynx. "Have our army surround the Human ship, order all of them to remain inside for the next week with no opening of doors or windows."

Lynx saluted and moved to the opposite side of the platform to make a call. Blake turned to the Lord with a questioning stare. "I never heard of any missions outside the Human world." She said.

The Lord laughed once before turning to her. "Your a fool if you think your leaders tell you of all of their actions." He said as he turned to look at Sun. "Besides, it was twelve years ago, you would have still been a kitten when they left." He said flatly.

Blake twitched. She didn't like when people refereed to Faunus in any way that related to their individual trait, even if they themselves were Faunus.

The Lord looked to the castle that was now in full view. "We are only a few minutes away now." He mussed. Glancing over his shoulder at Blake he spoke once more. "I doubt that you would have heard of these men anyway. A third Human, a woman, arrived a few days after them in the midst of the festivities. She was the most dangerous of them all, but when it was over, and they were all locked away in their various cells, she told us that she was hunting the two men, who were top priority criminals in the Human World." The Lord said.

Blake narrowed her eyes at the Lord. "So why didn't you let her take them back to the Human World to be tried?" She asked.

The Lord stared back at her with a stoic expression. "On Hell's Point, I decide one's guilt. They came to my country, and destroyed it, killing a great many Faunus in the process. I did not need a jury to decide that they deserved to rot in a cell for all eternity." He said with spite. "I asked them their names and locked them away under the volcano for twelve years."

Sun looked up at the large man. "What were their names?" He asked.

The Lord glared at his castle, knowing that under the mass of stone and wood sat the very men he was discussing. "They were a set of twins named, Blaze Ironwood, and Charles Goodwitch."

Sun and Blake shared as shocked look and stared back up at the Lord before speaking in unison. "What about the Woman!?" They shouted.

The Lord raised an eyebrow. "Those names seem to have rung some bells. I will question you about hem later. The woman gave me no name, only apologizing for the destruction that they caused and willingly turned herself in. She did however give me this cloak." He said as he turned to the bright red cloak on his shoulder with a similar design to that of Ruby's own cloak. "Though she wore it somewhat different." He said as he turned it inside out, revealing a beautiful snow white fabric.

Cell Block 5

Charles sat in his cell watching the wall as he had done for many years, patiently waiting for something to happen to break up the monotony of each passing day. Then, one day the whole wall was gone! Charles was confused until he saw the whole room was rising into the open air above. The light was blinding at first, then he could hear the thoughts of people around him and he grinned.

After briefly mocking the man who had thrown him into his prison, he and his cell mates were treated to a first class flight across Hell's Point where he got to see how it had changed. For a moment, Charles had even thought that they were going to be released from prison and sent out of the country. He was ecstatic at the chance to go out and explore more. Then, in only a moment, his hopes were dashed as they were dropped into a new dark room with a new boring wall to stare at. Charles was annoyed with the tease that he had been given.

He and Blaze sat with the woman between them starring at the wall, waiting for the week to be up so that they could be lead to their execution.

'Execution... Ha! They tried to kill us twelve years ago and only succeeded in capturing us. What makes them think they can kill us this time?' Charles though as he scanned the new room to see if there was anything interesting. As he looked to his right, a flash of red appeared before him and caught his attention. There was a deep red portal in front of his cell, with a black slit in the center. As he watched, a woman strode through the portal.

Her outfit consisted of a black skirt, with thigh high black boots. On her torso was a red and black shallow cut dress, with several necklace's around her neck, and a pair of black gauntlets on each arm. At her waist was a feathery assortment clipped to he side, and opposite to those was a scabbard with a blade hidden within. She wore a large Grimm mask on her face and had long thick black hair.

She walked into the room and turned to Charles. She walked to the glass and tapped it with her gauntlet, only for the wall to light up with electricity and zap her. Quickly withdrawing her hand the woman turned to see Charles grinning.

"Careful. The wall is electrified." He said with a smirk.

The woman pulled her mask from her face with a annoyed look. "Gee, thanks for the warning Charlie." She said.

Charles narrowed his eyes. "Watch it Raven. The names Charles." He said with a serious look on his face.

Raven waved her hand. "Whatever Charlie. Hey Blaze!" She shouted.

The Cell on the opposite end shook violently for a moment before a bright glow appeared at the window. "Raven! Good to see ya old pal. Did you bring any booze?" He asked.

Raven laughed as she strode over to his cell. "Not this time Blaze. Maybe next time." She said.

"May not get a next time." Charles said as he shifted in his chains. "We're due to be executed next week following the festival." He said, though no trace of fear or worry was in his tone.

"Sounds like fun." She said as she turned to the woman in the middle. "I was going to free you, but why miss all the fun of watching Ol' Lucy try to kill you again." She said.

"We might not go." Said Blaze. "Lucy said that he won't be serving any booze at the execution."

Raven faked looking shocked. "What!? How dare he!" She shouted with mock anger before turning back to the woman who had yet to acknowledge their presence. Raven used her blue sword to tap the electrified bars. "Yoohoo!" She shouted. "Time to wake up!"

The woman in the cell turned her head in the direction of Raven, but continued to lie there.

Raven puffed her cheeks out in annoyance. "Fine, be a stick in the mud." She said as she turned to Charles. "So guess what Charlie?" She asked.

Charles gave her an annoyed glare. "Charles." He stated.

Raven roller her eyes. "Close enough. So there's a ship from the Human world on Hell's Point!" She shouted so as to allow Blaze to hear as well.

"Is mom still trying to find us?" He asked.

Raven turned to the man in the cast iron cell. "They are still hunting for you yes, though it is not the top priority for anyone anymore. Your mom and dad more or less assume that your dead." Raven said.

Charles raised an eyebrow. "Dad's still alive?!" He asked.

Raven nodded. "Yep. Atlas tech is amazing." She said. "But no, that's not why the ships here. A group of students from Beacon are out on a mission, hunting for a legendary weapon that can save the world." Raven over exaggerated the last part so as to emphasize her disbelief in such a thing.

Charles laughed. "So the Council is letting children out of the house now?" He asked.

Raven shook her head. "Nope." She said, popping the 'P'. "It was Ozpin that sent them out."

"Neat. So what does this have to do with us?" Blaze asked.

"I'm glad you asked Blaze." Raven said. "I want you to cause some trouble for Lucy this year." She said.

"No." The people in the room turned to the woman in the center cell that had spoken. The scar on her neck healing over quickly. "We will remain in these cells until the date of our execution for the crimes that we committed." She said as she sat up.

Raven grinned. "So you can still speak!" She said.

The woman turned her head to Raven. "What do you want Raven." She asked with an annoyed tone.

"Like I said, I want you to cause some problems for Lucy!" She said with a smile.

"We will not leave these cells." She said as she turned to lay back down.

"What if I told you that Qrow was here?" She asked.

The woman in the cell froze. She turned slowly to Raven. "Your lying." She said.

Raven shook her head. "Nope he's here, and so is your daughter, and your niece." She said as she rose to her feet. "They're going to be killed with the rest of you next week, all because Lucy has a grudge against one of the crew's ancestors. Poor Jaune Arc." Raven finished as she turned away.

The woman in the cell paused. "Yang and Ruby are here..." She said, some fear in their voice.

"Yep. And they're going to die unless you save them." Raven said.

The woman in the cell slammed her gauntlets together, causing them to break free of her hands, then she broke the one on her feet. Each hundred ton block fell to the floor with a loud bang as they cracked the metal below them. Reaching up to her face, the woman cracked the helmet off and threw it aside. The eye blockers were revealed to spikes, that were hammered deep into her skull. With a sickening pop, the woman pulled them from her head and threw them to the side with the helmet. Her eyes quickly regenerated back to their normal silver color and she focused her eyes on Raven.

"I must admit, I am glad those spikes are gone." She said. All other eyes in the room looked down at the six inch spike that had been pulled from her skull with shock.

"You had those things in your eyes for all this time?!" Charles said with horror.

Raven gave the woman a bored stare. "There's a reason she was called the Immortal Girl back at Beacon." Raven said.

The woman turned to Raven. "We can talk later, let me out so I can go see Qrow and Ruby!" She demanded.

"Now hang on a second." Raven said as she reached behind her. "I want this to go as smoothly as possible." Raven pulled her hand back around to the front, revealing a flower petal.

Charles and Blaze began to grin as they saw the flower petal. "Is that?" Charles asked.

Raven nodded. "A Sky Flower petal."

The woman in the middle backed away. "Raven, put that away!" She shouted.

In contrast, Blaze and Charles were ecstatic. "We get to go on another rampage! What a way to make a comeback!" Blaze shouted.

Raven grinned. "Come on Summer, live a little."

Woot! You have no idea how long I have been wanting to get to this chapter! I have been waiting patiently to add Summer to this fic, and I am happy that it finally happened. I never thought that it would be popular enough for me to reach this point.

As always, leave a review telling me what you thought about the new chapter.
